What is The Architecture of Happiness (Vintage International) about?

The Achitecture of Happiness is a dazzling & generously illustrated journey through the philosophy & psychology of architecture & the indelible connection between our identities & our locations. One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness & misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings, & streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. Alain de Botton starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, & argues that it is architecture's task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential°°°Alain de Botton is the author of nonfiction works on subjects ranging from love & travel to architecture & philosophy. His most recent work, The News: A User’s Manual, was released by Pantheon Books in February of 2014. His best-selling books include How Proust Can Change Your Life, BI, & The Architecture of Happiness. He lives in London, where he founded The School of Life (www.theschooloflife.com) & Living Architecture (www.living-architecture.co.uk).
